<h2 align="center"><a href="http://deanofstudents.concordia.ca/student_orgs/" class="nounderline">Register your student association</a></h2>
</div>
<p>Concordia University has a rich collection of student associations. Represented are many cultural, religious, social and academic groups. Most groups fall under an umbrella but there are also a variety of independent groups such as Cinema Politica, the Co-Op Bookstore, Centre 2110, the People's Potato...</p>
<p><b><span style="color: rgb(128, 0, 128); "><span class="caps">HOW DO I START A NEW STUDENT GROUP?</span></b></p>
<ul class="point_out">
    <li>You should first identify whose umbrella your group would fall under. If you are a social, cultural or religious group, you should visit the Clubs Director at the <span class="caps">CSU.</span> If you are an academic group you should visit the &nbsp;corresponding umbrella: <span class="caps">ASFA </span>for groups that fall under the faculty of Arts and Science for example, and the <span class="caps">GSA </span>for graduate academic groups.</li>
    <li>Your group will need a constitution. Both your umbrella and the Dean of Students Office will need a copy.</li>
    <li>To show there are people interested in your group's existence, umbrella's will normally require a certain amount of signatures from your fellow students.</li>
</ul>
<p><b><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 102);"><span class="caps">INDEPENDENT ASSOCIATIONS</span></span></b></p>
<p>If the umbrella has not approved your group, the Dean of Students Office will, on occasion, allow you to register as an independent group. This will mean that your group does not have access to funding normally given by the umbrella. You will still need to adopt a constitution and deliver it to one of our offices. We will also require 50 signatures from your fellow students to show that there is interest in your group before we can consider your application.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><b><span class="caps">REQUEST</span> TO <span class="caps">USE THE NAME CONCORDIA</span> OR <span class="caps">CONCORDIA UNIVERSITY</span></b></p>
<p>All new student associations who would like the name &quot;Concordia&quot; or &quot;Concordia University&quot; as part of their association's name would need to have this request approved. Please follow this link for more information:&nbsp;http://vpexternalsecgen.concordia.ca/documents/policies/PermissionRequestForm.pdf</p>
